Art Deco Smith’s Oak wall clock

A superb 1930s Art Deco oak wall clock, fully functional with a new quartz movement fitted by a professional clock restorer.

The large rectangular dark oak clock with the most fantastic Art Deco font for the angular numerals, and wonderfully designed hands.

Two restorers attempted to save the original electric movement but it didn’t keep time reliably enough so this has been given a new quartz movement and crucially the clock restorer has managed to retain the original hands. It takes one AA battery.

When sourced, this clock had been painted quite badly several decades ago in an off – white colour, and the numerals and hands roughly painted in black. This paintwork has been painstakingly stripped down over a course of days and many hours of careful removal of paint trapped in the grain.

I strongly believe this to be a Smith’s clock, but during the restoration process (or perhaps during the over-painting), the Smith’s transfer printed logo has gone.

It has a pair of integral hook plates to the reverse top corners for hanging on screws.

This fantastic looking, iconic early 20th century English made clock would’ve been as stunning in its day as it is now.

This clock measures 30.5cm wide X 25.5cm tall X 7.5cm deep.
